Hello!

Given,

The charge of each  atom is  = 29 C

Total charge = 29 x 4 x 10 = 1160 C

Total Number of electrons in Cu = 1160

Then, total number of electrons in 9.6 C = 9 . 6 / 1.6 x 10 ^ -19 = 6 x 10 ^ 19

Therefore, required fraction of electrons removed =

6 x 10 ^ 19 / 1160 = 5 . 17 x 10 ^ 16.
